spring.profiles.active is not working from the command line

Question

I am using spring-boot: 1.2.2

This is the syntax supplied in the docs (I get Unknown command-line option '--spring.profiles.active'. when I start using the command)

gradlew bootRun --spring.profiles.active=noAuthentication

I tried this but it does not work

gradlew bootRun -Dspring.profiles.active=noAuthentication

I have found elsewhere that this should work but it does not

gradlew bootRun -Drun.jvmArguments="-Dspring.profiles.active=noAuthentication"

I added the following to application.properties and it works correctly.

spring.profiles.active=noAuthentication

How to you pass this argument from the command line?

You pass the command line args to Gradle not to your Spring Boot app. See this answer to see how to pass args to the app via Gradle bootRun http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25079244/how-to-pass-jvm-options-from-bootrun — derkoe, Mar 18 '15 at 07:18

Fixed it via

project.gradle.projectsEvaluated {
    applicationDefaultJvmArgs = ["-Dspring.profiles.active=${project.gradle.startParameter.systemPropertiesArgs['spring.profiles.active']}"]
}

And run

gradlew bootRun -Dspring.profiles.active=prod
